I can't say a lot but I've seen this and it's not good. It's not as bad as Suicide Squad or Batman vs. Superman but it's pretty bad in a lot of places. The only good parts are Wonder Woman, Batman, and anything with Amy Adams and Diane Lane. Everyone and everything else goes from useless to awful. The Flash and Aquaman get special shoutouts for how bad they are in this.

Finally saw this and thoroughly enjoyed it! In fact, I'm thinking of going back for seconds. Certainly better than Suicide Squad and B vs S. 

 

I thought Flash was charming, Cyborg worked great too. Baffleck is Baffleck. Gal Gadot fantastic as always. Aquaman GREAT on the eyes but meh on execution. He needs more to do/more work.

 

They FINALLY gave my Superman the treatment he deserves. None of that Batman v Superman BS. As if he can't beat the sh!t out of all of them with little to no effort! And that's exactly what he did (while shirtless, bless the Gods). His resurrection was probably the best scene in the movie. Good stuff with Lois Lane and Martha Kent. 

 

Wasn't crazy about the Bugs design and I still hate Snyder's vision of Krypton with a passion. The climax was slightly underwhelming but good overall. 

 

But Cavill's CGI upper lip area? Oh my God, the horror! It's like Superman was brought back to life but the space between his lip and nose remained dead. Couldn't they make it more natural? Maybe make it move along with the rest of his face? Did Superman come back from the dead with a massive amount of Botox on his upper lip? So many questions. And apparently, this cost them millions!

 

The only interesting thing is it helps spot the reshoots easily. And it seems there was a tooooon of them (and I'm sure there's more that didn't involve Cavill directly). I didn't notice Whedon being credited. Only Snyder was credited as director. 

 

Overall, a lighter tone, more fun, some good moments. Hope they keep going this direction but Snyder needs to be gone. He can't bring humanity to these characters.

 

The first post-credit scene was a lot of fun. I groaned at the second one when I realized it involved Lex and hoped he'd been recast. No luck but he seemed toned down and it was awesome to see Manganiello. The idea of an evil Justice League has promise.

Same. I'm not getting the hate. I saw it and really loved it.

 

I have watched too many Joss Whedon shows to not spot his touch in the tongue-in-cheek and funny moments.

And totally agree...THAT was how Superman should be. Not that I mind that at all in the other movies.

      I think the arrival of the Spauldings (Alan/Elizabeth/Phillip) caused the erosion of Sara's character on the show since Elizabeth took over Sara's place in the whole Justin/Jackie story.  Sara's brief marriage to another deceptive man sounded like it paled in comparison to the previous deceptive man story that she had played the decade beforehand.. and it was probably done because of the whole Alan/Jackie/Mike/Elizabeth cluster that took off story wise.   I know the show had introduced Brandy, the woman Justin cheated on Jackie with... but I don't believe she lasted more than a year.. and didn't make much of an impression. While the Dobson's were good at writing/juggling multiple characters/stories.. they weren't perfect though they did manage to make use of characters not in the front burner like Sara, Ann, etc. I do know that Sara/Adam looked to be starting up at the end of the Dobson era with a jealous/regretful Barbara looking on.. which played out during the Roger/Holly rape story and Hollys prison story.   I don't know if Marland was as inspired by that story when he took over

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      By yrfan1983 · Posted

      If you ever make it to the Paley Center in NYC (fka Museum of TV and Radio), in their viewing room, you can watch Days 1/1/73 featuring Denise Alexander as Susan. It’s her last month on the show before switching to GH.

      Overall I was impressed with this week and fall out from the revealation.  I am looking forward to seeing the Nicole/Dana showdown next week.  I do wonder if June is going to be tied to Hayley.

      I thought Adam and Sara got married? Although I do not remember any mention of her when Adam returned for Blake's weddings. But MA certainly got the short end of the stick storywise, as Marland's obsession with therapy reared it's head.

      Didn’t Meg Bennett return to SFT as a writer in the last few years. I always wondered if they tried to get her back as Liza.

      Millette Alexander got the short end of the stick once they killed off Joe. The Justin thing was a non-starter. Then she was briefly married to Alan's corrupt lawyer and HE was killed off. She was paired briefly with Adam and that ended because she believed Holly over Roger about the rape. Definitely, Marland had zero interest in her except as the therapist for the many, many of his female characters who needed therapy. It's not odd she left the show. One of the rare 1978 episodes on YT shows Alan going to Cedars for a physical check-up. He ends up with Sarah as his doctor. In between making mysoginistic comments about women doctors, he also openly flirts with her. It's very obvious they were chem testing Sarah and Alan. It's a really good scene. Bernau is both obnoxious and charming and Millette is amazing, trying to be pleasant and profesional without rolling her eyes at him, but at the same time maybe a LITTLE bit attracted to him. An interesting what-might-have-been. So it appears the Dobsons were actively looking for someone to pair her with, they just never found the right one for a long-term story.

      First, let me say I love reading all of your takes and thoughts. They always provide a different point of view... a breath of fresh air... in this sometimes stuffy topic.

      You've inspired me to add my 2 cents about this product placement debacle.  I absolutely HATE the way they are doing product placement in BTG. I really hope this doesn't catch on or evolve into more and more of these moments. It's incredibly off-putting to place them in a highly dramatic moment where we are still on the emotional journey with the character. What is next - Dani spraying the house while having a nervous breakdown? It makes me not want to buy the product they're selling. LOL. That's just me.
